I would imagine that your pistol is what is known as a 1908 first military. Most of these were made in 1909 and have no date on the chamber. Whether or not it is an '08 can quickly be determined by the location of acceptance stamps and proof. If these stamps are on the left side of the receiver it is an '08. From 1910 forward all miltary Lugers are dated and proof and acceptance stamping is on the right side of the receiver.
The unit marking indicates Reserve Infantry Regiment 8, Company 6, weapon 2. How about posting more photos when you get a chance?
